Evaluate a changing function in loop

Hi! I am writing a code that generates a function f in a loop. This function f changes in every loop, for example from f = x + 2x to f = 3x^2 + 1 (randomly), and I want to evaluate f at different points in every loop. I have tried using subs, eval, matlabFunction etc but it is still running slowly. How would you tackle a problem like this in the most efficient way?

This is as fast as I have been able to do it. ****matlabFunction and subs go slower than this.
The code below is my solution and it is one loop. In my larger code the function f and point x0 change in every loop so you can imagine why I want this to go as fast as possible. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could go through this, and give me any pointers. If my coding is crap feel free to tell me

% pstr = addPar(str,N)
% Transforms every occurence of xi in str into x(i)
% N is the maximum value of i
% replace every occurence of xi with x(i)
% note that we do this backwards to avoid x10 being
% replaced with x(1)0
